Alleged Financial Infraction: Governor Okpebholo Suspends Attorney-General by State001(op): 11:44pm On Feb 05, 2025
Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has approved the suspension from office, of the Chairman, Edo State Local Government Service Commission, Hon. Damian Lawani.

The governor also approved the suspension from office, of the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Hon. Samson Osagie.


In a statement issued on Wednesday night by Umar Musa Ikhilor, Esq., Secretary to the State Government, both leaders were suspended over allegations of grave official and financial infractions.

“Consequently, the Governor has ordered the setting up of an Investigative Committee to investigate the allegations levelled against them and make appropriate recommendations accordingly,” the statement noted.

“The suspension of Hon. Damian Lawani and the Honorable Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice became necessary to enable Government carry out a thorough investigation into the allegation of financial infractions leveled against them.

“They are to remain suspended pending the conclusion of the investigation,” the SSG added, noting that, “the suspension is with immediate effect.

this mumu man called Inec governor what does he know about stealing, even if they mention the amount stolen he couldn’t still not pronounce it correctly.

The money is confusing……

Oshiomole is the one suspending them not the Inec and Oshiomole elect Governor.

Tribunal should not be bias on their judgment, return my dear state back someone whom will not be hiding from the press and can’t attend a meetings for fellow governors.

The thievery of the average Nigerian is baffling.

When were this people appointed!?

Less than 3 months and they are getting suspended?

You mean these men can't survive in life without their wide mouths latched onto the teat of government patronage?

Samson Osagie has been a HOR for years now but look at this
Re: Alleged Financial Infraction: Governor Okpebholo Suspends Attorney-General by oz4real83(m): 5:29am On Feb 06, 2025

Nigeria and democracy are 2 parallel lines that can never meet. Whatever works in other countries, becomes opposite in Nigeria.

Imagine less than three months in Office they have started stealing. Okpebholo quickly assembled a team of brigands that were retired by Obaseki just to spite Obaseki.
The Binis will learn new things from Okpebholo.
Samson Osagie who occupies the highest position given to any Bini person in okpebholo government will definitely be replaced by an Esan person.
But don't worry, Asue Ighodalo is coming.
Edo shall be great again.

Thieves everywhere in Nigeria. Less than three months in office, and they’re already caught up in financial scandals. How do you start looting before even settling into the job? This is why the country is struggling—public officials see positions as an opportunity to enrich themselves instead of serving the people. Let’s hope the investigation isn’t just for show.

A very big one for that matter. How does the suspension of both about financial inducement, relates to Oshiomole. Okpeboho should be commended for even having the courage for suspending them. They are big wigs. If you know Edo politics you will understand better. We have to many educated illiterate on this platform.
